Vegetation and Wildlife in the World
A particular type of vegetation grows in a particular climate. There are different types of vegetation in different parts of the world. For example, the vegetation of the equatorial climate is different from the vegetation of the tropical monsoon climate. But the same type of vegetation is found throughout the tropical monsoon region.
Although changes have occurred in the natural vegetation due to the change in climate, environmental deterioration and human activities, we can still see certain patterns of vegetation and wildlife zones protected by climate. The types of climate decide which types of wildlife resides in the area as well.
There are three main types of forests found in the world:
Tropical (Evergreen) Forest
These types of forest get dry, humid, and hot throughout the year and have rainfall of 200cm or above. Big evergreen trees with hard wood and less branches and canopy like trees can be found in these types of forest. The vegetation includes Rubber, Tick, Sal, Mahogany, Rosewood, Ebony, etc.
The wildlife includes big bodied animals like Elephants, Tiger, Bear, Rhino, etc., reptiles like Python, Crocodiles, etc., and birds like Peacock, Crane, etc.
Temperate Forest
This forest gets hot in the summer and cold in the winter, and gets rainfall of 100cm or above. The trees in this region get blooming in the summer and leaves fall off in the winter. Trees like Oak, Beech, Maple, etc. are mainly found here.
Wildlife in the form of animals like Cheetah, Monkey, Fox, etc., and birds like Crow, Swan, Sparrow, etc. reside here.
Boreal (Taiga) Forest
The trees with pointed leaves are most prominent in these forests. These forests receive an average 50cm of rainfall, and have extreme cold temperatures. The north polar regions of Canada, Norway, Russia, etc. have these types of forests. The soft conifer trees are found here and are generally known as Taiga forest. Pine, Spruce, Fir, etc. trees are the main vegetation here.
The wildlife consists of animals like Snow Leopard, Grizzly Bear, etc. and birds like Goose, etc.
